Hi all, I upgraded the kernel to 2.6.35 (which corresponds to Ubuntu 10.10), and I can now get the temperature readings from the Xeon cores. (I still needed to load the coretemp module, but I think that was because the /etc/modules file was not configured properly.) In any case, thanks a lot for your help -- I got much faster responses from this list than I expected. This project was tremendously helpful in confirming that there was a hardware problem with the CPU overheating (my mistake in assembling the components). Thanks for working on it!
